Can a second Drive be added internally or externally to a 15-dw3043nq ?

[jfra237]

Hello,

My laptop is  HP 15-dw3043nq, windows 11.

Is it possible to add, in addition to the existing SSD, a second SSD, which would be used only for storage?

Does the motherboard allow for such a second SSD?

From searching the net, I found an article that says that  the motherboard of my HP 15-dw3043nq has a M.2 slot that supports NVMe SSD's, which can be uised only for storage.

Can you please confirm, if you know?

Thanks a lot.

@Sandytechy20,

Thank you again, I have accepted it as a solution.

Would you please confirm the page number, (is it 2) in the manual.

Also, can you please confirm if 

HP 512 GB PCI-e 3x4 NVMe M2 Solid State Drive

or

HP 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (5R8X9AA#ABB)

would be ok?

Can you send a link to one or two such ssds? I wouldn't want to purcahse an incorrect drive. Thank you. 

Thanks a lot.
